Scenario 1

One or more drones take off in range of the mesh nodes and stays in the range of mesh nodes and continuously (without data loss) is able to stream measurements and receive commands from the mesh network despite changing its point of attachment to the mesh network.

Scenario 2

One or more drones take off in or outside the range of the mesh nodes and may be intermittently in and out of range of the mesh nodes. When in range of the mesh nodes a drone should stream as fast as possible its buffered data as well as be able to receive commands from the mesh nodes. Similarly, buffered commands for the drone (from the mesh nodes) are delivered as soon as possible, i.e., as soon as the drone enters the range of any of the mesh nodes.

Common requirements (for all scenarios):

• unless the SET/GET buffers overflow, there should be no data loss
• drones should be able to communicate with each other using the same WiFi interface they use to communicate with the mesh network (either directly, i.e., in ad-hoc mode, or via the mesh network).
• standard TCP/IP is required for communications
